First, a word about how we got here. The Brewersswept the Rockies which was only to be expected. Coors Field is a pitcher’s nightmare and a batter’s friend. The elevation makes the ball carry farther and in consequence the Ball Park is larger than most. Ok, that solves your Home Run problem but leaves acres …

Well, could be the last time I get to use this clip for a year. Ok, the Red Sox crushed the damn Yankees last night in a game marked by managerial errors by Aaron Boone who left Severino in waaay too long (also pitched him on too little rest). By the Top of the 5th …

Whatever Lola wants Lola gets, Take off your coat Don’t you know you can’t win? You’re no exception to the rule, I’m irresistible, you fool, give in!…Give in!…Give in! By being the only team to score a road win, the damn Yankees have put themselves in position to thwart the Red Sox once again. If …

Well, the Braves like home cooking I guess. Last night they won over the Dodgers 6 – 5. It was more convincing than that looks, neither team scored after the 6th. So anything can happen but the Braves still face elimination today against the Dodgers. Braves will send out Mike Foltynewicz (R, 13 – 10, …

Wild Thing 2- Redux I expect that’s the last time I’ll get to play that clip this Season. The Indians are facing elimination down 2 – 0 and while the Braves got their miracle last night, the Rockies did not. The Indians are going to start Mike Clevinger (R, 13 – 8, 3.02 ERA). In …

So the Braves are looking for home cooking to change things around. Unfortunately for the Braves I don’t think they’ll find it any better than road food. The Dodgers continue to look like the team to beat despite the Yankee win last night. Sean Newcomb (L, 12 – 9, 3.90 ERA) pitched 2 scoreless Innings …

Here’s an interesting fact, of the 8 teams in the Playoffs, only 1 has managed a road win this this year. Of course this means that 3 teams are facing elimination, among them the Rockies. While they looked pretty good against the Brewers in the first game the second one was hopeless. They’re just attempting …

La La La Lola strikes again. Well, not quite the result you had hoped for if you’re a Yankees fan, if on the other hand you’re part of Red Sox nation you should be satisfied but not excited, it was close. Without that initial blast from Martinez the Bullpen looks extremely shaky which is too …

Wild Thing 2 Well, in the movies. In real life the Indians are down 1 – 0 to the ‘Stros which is significant in a short Series like a Division Championship but not unexpected for an away game. The ‘Stros will send Gerrit Cole (R, 15 – 5, 2.88 ERA) to the mound. The last …

From 2 teams I have some admiration for to 2 teams I don’t like at all. Braves / Dodgers resumes with the Dodgers leading the Braves 1 – 0. Tonight the Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw (L, 9 – 5, 2.73 ERA) to face Aníbal Sánchez (R, 7 – 6, 2.83 ERA) of the Braves. Kershaw …
